Love my Janome. Beware of the height of the machine hurting back and shoulders if you usually have your machine in a cabinet. The extra height killed my neck, back, shoulders, until I adjusted my table. Good luck! Can't spell height today, sorry.

Congrats on your new Janome. I purchased one last August and 3 weeks ago a got an error when sewing and the machine froze up. I called my dealer and he thought it was the fuse so he ordered one because he didn't have one in stock. A week later I still had not heard from him so I found another dealer who had a fuse she told me to bring it in and she would have it the next day. After 4 more days I called and she said she had been busy and hadn't had a chance to fix it. She called me later in the day and told me it was not a fuse but the motherboard and she would order one and have it for me last Monday. On Tuesday I had not heard from her so I called and she said she was just getting to it. A couple of hours later she called to say that Janome sent the wrong motherboard and it will be at least another week. I love my Janome and everyone that has one is so happy with them. I guess I just got a lemon and living in a small community the service isn't that great. I hope when I get it back it works good and I don't have any more problems with it. I have been a pretty mean lady the last 3 weeks without my machine. I am sure that this is a rare occasion after reading all the threads on the board.

I have noticed the height. I will probably have to change out chairs since I can't adust the table. But that is ok. Hubby fixed me a board to put over the hole where my Singer goes and I covered it with some left over layer cakes. So I am ready to get to sewing!

I just bought my first Janome too. Mine is the lighter and cheaper version DC1050 to take to classes and to travel. Anyway, I have been very impressed with its good straight stitch, quietness, and variety of stitches. since I've only had it a couple of weeks, I can't vouch for how long it will last. But everyone else seems very pleased. Good luck with yours and I'm very happy for you.

Congratulations on the Janome. I have 3. One was just a simple machine my other two are quilting 6260 and 5200. I love to use them and I just gave my grandson's wife the simple machine. I also have a Viking from the 70s but it's too heavy to keep lifting and think of selling.

Thanks! I am keeping the Singer since it is a close friend of the family's grandmother's. Hubby fixed a board for me to cover the hole so I could fold out the table for my sewing space. I covered with fabric. I already have some ideas of projects and hope to start them this week while my mom is in town.

I did have an issue today. I was trying the combo stitching and the fabric got jammed in the bobbin area. Then the needle broke. But I got the fabric out and changed the needle (not sure how long that was in there) so I hope I am ready to get sewing soon.

I love the Janome I bought on ebay years ago. Inspired me to learn to sew. I couldn't just leave it sitting in the box -- although I did for years. I found a guy that sells most of the feet I don't have on ebay too. So now I just have to figure out how to sew and what I might need...
